12 Draft <br /> 1 they said that she had a bona fide farm, and we said how can you give her the right to use is <br /> 2 for 48 patients with 20 staff? <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Leon Meyers: Ms. Rich, excuse me for interruption. I'm going to ask you to direct your comments, at this <br /> 5 portion of the hearing, at competent material and substantial evidence that you have standing <br /> 6 under the statute to participate in the hearing. Can you tell us, please, why you believe you <br /> 7 have standing as a participant in the hearing for tonight's special-use permit? <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Peggy Rich: The fact that I have a property adjoining her does not qualify? <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Leon Meyers: No, ma'am, it does not by itself. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Peggy Rich: And you know the traffic in and out is tremendous. Do you have a question? <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Leon Meyers: No, no, I was just going to say that if you have evidence that traffic that would be different if <br /> 16 the special-use permit were approved, if that level of traffic would have a negative impact on <br /> 17 the value of your property and what evidence do you have of that, Ms. Rich? <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Peggy Rich: I don't have any evidence, but I mean, you know kind of common knowledge but also the <br /> 20 traffic in and out is terrible.

This is a private residential <br /> 24 neighborhood. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Leon Meyers: And Board members, any questions for Ms. Rich related to her status of standing as a <br /> 27 participant in the hearing? If not, a motion to approve or deny standing for Ms. Rich would be <br /> 28 in order. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Jeff Scott: I make a motion that we deny standing for Peggy Rich. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Leon Meyers: Do I hear a second? <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Kyle Myers: Second. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Leon Meyers: Any discussion on the motion to deny? <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Peggy Rich: I do have a request. I request the special-use permit be denied on the grounds that all, <br /> 39 everyone should follow the rule of the law. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Leon Meyers: Thank you. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Beth Bronson: Thank you very much. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Leon Meyers: Any discussion on the motion to deny? All in favor, please say aye. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Leon Meyers: None opposed? <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Beth Bronson: I'm, at this moment, like I, yes. I'm having a hard time.
